  • In April of 2023, while on holiday with Mrs Mancam in Gran Canaria, I was given the opportunity by local bike hire company Canary Ride to ride a Ducati Desert X around the island. For FIVE days!
    In part 2 we check out the infamous GC-210. Apparently dubbed 'The Loneliest Road on the Island' and allegedly featured in Fast & Furious 6. (I actually couldn't find the road anywhere in the film, but thankfully it was such a great ride that it didn't matter!).
    Check out Canary Ride at: www.canaryride... and tell them that I sent you!
    Huge thanks to all of the awesome team at Canary Ride, who now also have bikes available on Tenerife.

      @AndyManCam  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Mark! I really liked the Desert X mate. A LOT of fun to ride. While i think that the bike is worth the money, the servicing for the desmodromic valve system will make anybody without a trust fund weep! I also now believe that my Aprilia Tuareg 660 is better value for money.

    Hi Andy.
    I'm just catching up on your Gran Canaria tour,, ( which I'm loving 👌🏼).
    I've noticed you are using a beeline on a handle bar mount...
    Can I ask where you got the mount from?
    It would be perfect for my tiger 900, I've looked on beeline's Web site and cannot see it.
    I would be grateful for any info on the mount.
    Many thanks and....
